Several sensor data sources also require that the user has knowledge about the specific sensor types to be able to interpret the data.To alleviate the working situation for a commander, we have designed and constructed a system that [...]
Descriptive Types for XML Query Language Xcerpt
The work presented in this thesis is related to XML (Extensible Markup Language) developed by World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)1.
